Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This thrillingly recounted journey, of which this is the first US edition, is in two volumes. The brown waxed cloth covers of both volumes are, for their age, are still vivid. The gold print is bright, the pressed illustrations are unworn and evocative. The covers of both volumes have general wear and marking from use and storage. Volume II is the more marked of the two with storage spotting marks. The corners and edges are worn but not significantly so. The back covers are principally storage rubbed. The spines of both volumes are worn at the head and foot. The head of the spines have wear from pulling. Both have handling wear - but the printing is clear and strong. The bindings are muscular and strong. The frontispage of volume 1 is unmarked. That of volume 2 has damp staining. The end papers of both volumes have shallow cracks in the spine seams through to the binding stitching. In volume 2 there is a small half-circle open tear to the bottom end page towards the spine edge. The front pages of volume 1 are in very good condition. In volume 2 has a long crack along the spine seam. The frontis illustration page is loosened at the foot. The thin protective page has earned its keep and the condition thereon is good. In volume one the map is torn but complete. Volume 2 is the more handled of the two and has handling marking throughout. However, this adventurous, breathlessly boys-own like story is in very good condition. All pages and illustration plates are complete, intact and firmly attached to the bindings. The illustrations are courageous in their description and are a delight. The text in both volumes is clear, very readable and clean. fk.

Add to basketHolub, an Austrian, arrived in South Africa in 1872 to seek his fortunes in the diamond fields. He gives accounts of pipe mining and there are illustrations of mine workings in Kimberley. On his first excursion into the interior, he travelled to the Transvaal, taking note of the countryside and native peoples. In November 1873, he started his second expedition through Bechuanaland towards the Zambesi. His third expedition in 1875 carried him to the rivers Chobe and Zambesi. One tangible result of his expeditions was the vast number of ethnographic and natural history objects which he brought back to Europe and distributed amongst various museums. First English edition; 2 vols, 8vo; frontispiece, 58 plates, folding map (closed tears), numerous illustrations in text, original brown pictorial cloth gilt, light wear, some discolouration to lower board vol.
